 // N-processor mutual exclusion [Rab82]
-// with global variables to remove sychronization 
 // gxn/dxp 03/12/08
 
-// version to verify a variant of the bounded waiting property
-// namely the probability a process entries the critical section given it tries
-// to acheive this we have split the drawing phase into two steps, so we know
-// a process will draw before it actual makes the probabilistic choice
-// we have however kept the two steps atomic(no other process can move one
-// the first step has been made) since otherwise the adversary can prevent the
-// process from actually trying in the current round by never shcedling it again
+// modified version to analyse the bounded waiting property
+// more precisely we analyse the waeker property:
+// "the minimum probability a process enters the critical section given the process tries"
 
-// note we have removed the self loops to eliminate the need for fairness constraints 
+// we modify the model by dividing the step corresponding to a process making a draw into two steps
+// this allows one to identify states where a process will draw without knowing
+// what value the process will randomly pick
+// these two steps are atomic (i.e. no other process can move one the first step has been made)
+// as otherwise the adversary can prevent the process from actually drawing in the current round
+// by not scheduling it after it has performed the first step
 
+// to remove the need for fairness constraints we have also removed the self loops from the model
